I was watching some old Ricardo Lopez fights

[Zarco]

And I began to see a little resemblance in style with Juan Manuel Marquez, right from the start. Any body else catch that? That guy was pretty good too, never seen any of his fights.

Ricardo Lopes is a G. beautiful technique and style. i too saw similarities in styles.

Agreed, almost a carbon copy. IMO, Lopez had a slightly better jab and defensive skills....

[Sinisterevo]

wasn't he also trained by Nacchio Bernstein?

thats all Nacho's work, the man is a great trainer.

I can see Abner Mares being a future contender with aspects of Lopes and JMM in his game. Dude better win tomorrow.

Abner is going to take Gabi apart. Gabi can punch a little though....

I said this months ago. But Ricardo Lopez is the ****. He was my child hood hero, him and JCC, and Oscar. When I was 9-14 those are the fighters that I wanted to be like, oh yeah and Lennox Lewis.
